CHAMPION, (Alberta) 


Is Formed 


-Messrs. Harpor, Roberts and 
A. W. Jopling were delegates 
to a meeting Keld at High 
River on Sunday for the pur- 
pose of forming a_ baseball 
league for this year, This was 
accomplished the teams includ- 
ed being Champion, Red Cross, 
Blackie, High River, Nanton 
and Stavely. <A schedule is be- 
ing prepared and will be pub 
lished at an early date. This 
would nppear to be the most 
satisfactory league-yet formed 
in this district and should in- 
sure a splendid baseball season. 
The delegates were enthusiastic 
over the arrangements made 
and interest in the series to 
open shortly will appeal to 
Championites generally. 


Alex, McLaughlin 
Easily Found 


Alex. McLaughlin, the Grand 
Rapids, Mich., man whose “dis- 
appearance” is reported from 
Blaiitmore on the district news 
page of this issue, is not by any 
means. Mr, McLaughlin came 
into the Herald office this after- 
noon. to inform the editor that 
his ‘mysterious disappearance” 
was not unlike the reported 


“death” of Mark Twain—slight- 
ly exaggerated, It appears 
that Mr, McLaughlin walked 


to Hillcrest early Sunday morn- 
ing to visita friend and board- 
ed the train there for Leth- 
bridge being bound for Cham- 
pion to look over a farm he bets 
there. And so that mystery 
story is cleared up.—Lethbridge 
Herald.

town for a few 


days and was

Band Revival 
Going Strong 


Recently efforts, in which 
Louis Thompson took the lead- 
ing part, have been made to 
reorganize the Champion band. 
Some ten members have en- 
rolled and two practices have 
been held, B,. Hummel acting as 
leader. The promoters desire 
to increase the strength to at 
least sixteen members and as 
there are several bandsmen in 
this vicinity they are urged to 
enrol at once, Practice is held 
every Wednesday evening at 
8 o'clock in Louis Thompson's 
house. Everyone will be pleas- 
ed to hear of a revived interest 
in the band and it is hoped 
every possible assistance will be 
tendered to keep it going. 


Arrangements are now being 
completed for the handling of 
all public and high school text 


ooks for the schools of — the

An advertisement by — the 
village of Champion with ref 
erence to livestock running at 
large was received too late for 
last week's issue. However, it 
makes its appenrance elsewhere 
in this issue and those owning 


cattle or horses would do well 
to note its contents. It was 
such a relief to have this 
nuisance curtniled as it was 
last yenr that there is every 


encouragement for the council 
to proceed with strict enforce- 
ment ot the bylaw. 


Everyone should be present 
at the presentation of “The 
Great Impersonation,” or 
“Home Came Ted,” in McCul 
lough’s hallon the evening of 
May 7th. There is a tremend 
ous amount of work in prepar- 
ing a play of this kind and those 
who make the effort to provide 
entertainment from local talent 
are entitled to ounstanding 
support. This comedy is being 
presented under tbe auspices of 
the Women’s Institute and the 
proceeds will go to swell the 
community ball fund.

Very often window shades are al- 
lowed to hang in one position until 
the edges are worn and the surface 
dingy simply because no one knows 
what to do with them. The shades 
ave too good to be thrown away. 
They ave not really dirty because they 
have been thoroughly dusted, but 
they are just unattractive enough to 
mar the appearance of an otherwise 
attractive room. Ordinary dusting 
only vemoves the surface loose dirt, 
but an occasional thorough cleanin 
will keep the shades from looking 
soiled and untidy. At least once a 
year take down the shades,  stretel 
them on a flat surface; and after dust- 
ing them go over with wet cloth dip- 
ped in mild soap suds, Clean ‘a 
portion of the shade at a time, and do 
not allow it to become very wet. 
Remove the shade from the roller and 
turn it upside down, tacking the 
bottom to the roller and making a 
new hem on the fresh end to hold the 
stick. The shade will be good as new.

Self - Poisoning 

Takes Huge Toll 

Many Fail in Life Through 


Sheer Neglect of Funda- 
mental Rule of Health 


—- 


Thousands of men and women are 
to-day victims of their own neglect. 
Grouchy, listless, quickly tiring, suffer- 
ing from headaches and biliousness, 
they spend enormous stims in medi- 
cines without avail. They would give 
much to regain their old vitality. 

Can it be done? Yes! How? 
Simply by recognizing the importance 
of one fundamental rule of health—the 
proper elimination of the bowel con- 
tents. Poisons that are allowed to 
remain in the system quickly lower the 
stamina, weaken the nerves and thus 
pave the way to ill-health. Stop this 
self-poisoning by taking Nujol—the 
scientific lubricant that completes the 
work of Nature's lubricant when, 
through modern living conditions, the 
natural supply fails. 

Nujol can be taken indefinitely with- 
out injury tothe system. Try Nujol 
to-day. ‘Ask for it at your nearest drug 
store, but remember there is only one 
Nujol. Watch for the name ‘‘Nujol”

Explanations and Comments 


Four Kings War With Five in the 
1Vale of Siddim, verses 1-12.—Read 
| the Historical Background. For 
{twelve years five kings, or chieftains, 
‘in the region around the Dead Sea 
| (Vale of Siddim) had been vassals 
of Chedorlaomer, King of Elam. In 
the thirteenth year they rebelled and 
ithe year following Chedorlaomer un- 
jdertook a punitive expeditidn which 
included the region from Syria to the 
,Gulf of Akaba. With him were asso- 
j ciated three other kings, Amraphel, 
King of Shinar ‘or Babylonia - (he is 
usually Tdentified with Hammurabi: | 
see the Historical Background, Arioch, | 
King of Lassa (on the left bank or | 
the Euphrates in Southern Babylonia) | 
‘and Tidal, King of Golim (thought to} 
describe the Guti, a strong nation | 
north of Babylonia). | 

The invaders attacked and con-| 
quered many tribes on their way to} 
the Dead Sea, where they were with- 
|stood by the five Canaanite kings of 
| that section, the kings of Sodom, Go- | 
j}morrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Bela, A 
|fieree battle was fought, and the in- | 
|vaders were victorious. The region 
‘abounded in bitumen (slime) pits | 
| (bitumen still floats on the surface of | 
jthe Dead Sea), and in them the 
jarmies of the kings of Sodom and Go- 


'morrah were engulfed. The text 
|says that the kings of Sodom ana 
;Gomorrah fell there, but it seems 


|legitimate to understand that it was 
| their armies, not they, for the King of 
‘Sodom appears again in verses seven- 
jteen and twenty-one. However, 1t 
!may have been the new king who

The Dominion Budget 


While naturally there will be differences of opinion in regard to details 
of the Budget presented to Parliament by Hon. J. A. Robb, it will, taken as a 
whole, be aceep'able to the people of Canada as constituting the first sub 
stantial measure of relief from the burden of taxation imposed upon them 
by the war, something which a few years ago it seemed would not be enjoyed 
by the present generation, 

rhe chief reduetion in taxation is that resulting from the changes in the 


Income Tax These changes are so arranged as to bring the greatest meas 


ure of relief to those in receipt of the smaller incomes. It is estimated that 
about one-third of all people formerly paying taxes on earned incomes will 
now be entirely exempt, while decided reductions are made in the case of 
those who will still have something to pay. The reduction in the case of 
those whose incomes are largely derived from investments and dividends 
will not be so material,

result being that whereas a few years ago the railway Was not even earning

and the Dominion treasury was called upon for sixty 


to seventy million dollars a year to meet deficits and Interest charges, last 


year there was a large surplus on operation, making it necessary for the Gov- 


ernment to advance only a tenth of the sum previously required to meet 
interest charges 

The removal of this enormous drain on the treasury enabled the Gov- 
ernment to reduce the burden of taxation on the people as a whole. A con 


tinuation and further expansion of business means larger direct

Through the Blood 


The most a rheumatic sufferer can 
hope for in rubbing something on the 
swollen, aching joints is a

lief and all the while the trouble is good

now known that rheumatism is root- 
ed in the blood, and that as the trouble | 
ther thin and watery. 
rheumatism, therefore, you must go 
to the root of the trouble in the blood. 
| That is why Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills 
‘have proved so beneficial when taken 
for this trouble, They make new, 


rich blood which expels the poisonous | 


acid and the rheumatism disappears. 
There are thousands of former rheu- 
matic sufferers in Canafla, now well 
and strong, who thank Dr, Williams’ 
|Pnik Pills that they are now free 
from the aches and pains of this 
dreaded trouble. One of these is Mr. 
Robt. A. Smith, Mersey Point, NS., 
who says:—‘“Some years ago I was 
attacked with rheumatism, which 
grew so bad that [ could not walk 
and had to go to bed under the doc- 
tor’s care. It is needless to say that 
I underwent a great deal of suffering. 
|The doctor’s medicine did not seem 
to reach the trouble, so when I was 
advised to try Dr. Williams’ Pink 
Pills I did so, and after taking them 
for some weeks I was able to get out 
of bed. I continued using the pills 
and was soon able to work, and I 
have not been troubled with rheuma 
tism since. In other respects also I 
derived a great deal of benefit from 
these pills and [ think them a won- 
derful remedy.”

Hail Companies Will 
Make Individual Rates 


All rates, rules and regulations re- 
lating to hail insurance in western 
Canada have been suspended for the 
year 1926, announced H. H, Campkin, 
Regina, secretary of the Canadian 
Fire Underwriter's association, today, 
on his return from a special meeting 
of that body held in Winnipeg, April 
20 and 21, 

“Since 1917 the rates have been set 
by the association, but for this year at 
least, the 45 companies who belong to 
the association will. set their own,’ 
he said; the decision regarding this 
came asa result of dissatisfaction on 
the partof some of the companies, 
I'm not prepared to state what the 
dissatisfaction was about. That is a 
confidential matter.” 

Mr. Cainpkin believed that the new 
order would last only a year and did 
not think that the change would make 
any material difference to the insured,
